Heyden, Horae Soc. Ent. Rossicse, xxi. (1887), p. 266. Gensan and Fusan. Abundant also at Kiukiang on the Yang-tsze. A species resembling much in colour and pilosity the Japanese Phyllopertha octocostata, Burm., which, according to Von Heyden, was taken by Herz also in Korea. ANOMALA TESTACEIPES, Motschulsky, Etud. Entom. 1860, p. 14; Harold, Deutsch. ent. Zeitsch. 1877, p. 356. One example only, of brassy-testaceous colour, taken at Gensan ; with elytral interstices much less opaque than in the Japanese form. ANOMALA ORIENTALIS, Waterhouse, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1875, p. 108. A good series of examples from Gensan, nearly all with unicolorous elytra, one only dark coppery brown ; in other respects they do not differ from the Japanese form. ANOMALA DUBIA, Ballion, Bull. Moscou, 1870, iv. p. 344. I refer with some hesitation a species, of which Mr. Leech took several examples at Gensan, to the above. They agree with the very insufficient description, if we may suppose that it was drawn up from an immature example in which the elytra are " testaceis, aeneo-micantibus." The normal colour of the whole upper surface is rich metallic green, in some examples having a more aeneous or golden-green tint. It is an oblong densely-sculptured species, and is closely allied to the Chinese A. aulax (Wiedm.), from which, in fact, it scarcely differs except in its smaller size (12-14 millim.), in the underside being wholly dark metallic, and in the absence of any traces of pale borders to the thorax and elytra. ANOMALA (EUCHLORA?) MONGOLICA, Faldermann, Mem. Acad. Petrop. ii. 1835, p. 379. Many examples taken at Gensan. Found also in Mongolia, on the Amur, and in Japan. The species is placed by all later authors in the genus or subgenus Euchlora; but I can discover no single point of structure to distinguish it from the typical Anomalce (A. fritschii and allies), with which it agrees in the angularly dilated lower branch of the larger anterior tarsal claw in the male-a character which separates the typical Anomalce from Euchlora viridis and its immediate relatives. ANOMALA (PARASPILOTA) IMPICTA. Elongato-ovata, glabra, jiavo-testacea, supra (maculis thoracis vagis fuscis exceptis) impicta antice auro-tincta, subtus corpore medio, pedibus antennisque plus minusve nigris; clypeo lata et brevi, antice late truncato medio subsinuato, marginibus alte |
